Due to relocation our Colrisub MCH6 is about to get put in a container for 2 maybe 3 months.

Is there any preparation that would be worth doing prior to shipment?

One of the things we do with the MCH6s after testing and before shipping (that can be weeks to months) is to run them and drain all condensate from the towers. Then, pour about a cap full of oil into the inlet (of course you have to remove the filter) and run for only 10 seconds. That puts a light film of oil on the top end of the rings and keeps corrosion to a minimum.

Then, as already noted, drain the oil, pack the gauge with bubble wrap and remove the hose.
